Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated screening equipment, and particularly to a novel alignment direction sorting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In an automated production line, the alignment and sorting of materials are key processes, especially for the direction identification and classification of small components. Traditional alignment and sorting methods mostly rely on manual operation or simple mechanical screening, which are inefficient and error-prone. Although some automated equipment can achieve sorting, its structure is complex, the maintenance cost is high, and its ability to identify subtle differences is limited.

[0003] Currently, most of the sorting mechanisms on the market cannot balance accuracy and efficiency, and perform poorly when dealing with components with subtle feature differences, failing to meet the high-efficiency and high-precision requirements of modern production lines. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome the above technical problems and provide a novel alignment direction sorting mechanism that can balance accuracy and efficiency to meet the high-efficiency and high-precision requirements of modern production lines.

[0005] This application provides a novel alignment direction sorting mechanism, and the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A novel alignment direction sorting mechanism includes:

[0007] A support plate;

[0008] A screening member, arranged on the support plate, and one end is provided with an output port for sequentially outputting the workpiece to the output port;

[0009] A feeding assembly, including a first support member and a feeding member. The first support member is arranged on the support plate, the feeding member is arranged on an end face of the first support member away from the support plate, and one end of the feeding member is docked to the output port. Feeding grooves are arranged on both sides of the feeding member, one end of the feeding groove is used to dock to the output port, and the end of the feeding groove away from the screening member is arc-shaped;

[0010] An adjustment assembly, including a second support member, a housing member, an adjustment member and a first driving member. One end of the second support member abuts against an end of the feeding member away from the screening member. The housing member is arranged on the second support member. The adjustment member is located on the second support member and is used to abut against and push the housing member to rotate. The first driving member is arranged at an end of the second support member away from the housing member and is used to push the adjustment member;

[0011] The moving mechanism includes a third support member, a second driving assembly, and a clamping member. The third support member is disposed on the support plate. The second driving assembly is disposed on an end face of the third support member away from the support plate. The clamping member is disposed on the second driving assembly and is located above one end of the material feeding member away from the screening member, and is used to clamp the workpiece into the accommodating member.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the screening member sequentially outputs the workpieces to the material feeding member. Based on the arc-shaped setting of one end of the material feeding member, the workpieces turn during the output process to adjust the direction of the workpieces. When the material feeding member conveys the workpieces to the target position, the second driving assembly in the moving mechanism drives the clamping member to clamp the workpieces to the adjusting assembly. The adjusting member in the adjusting assembly drives the accommodating member to rotate by a certain angle under the push of the first driving member, so as to adjust the direction of the workpieces for the subsequent process operations. In this way, during the sorting process, the automatic processing of the workpieces can be realized, greatly improving the alignment accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the present application can take into account both accuracy and efficiency to meet the high-efficiency and precision requirements of modern production lines.

[0013] Optionally, the novel alignment direction sorting mechanism further includes: a sensing member disposed at one end of the material feeding member away from the screening member and used to sense the position of the workpiece on the accommodating member.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensing member is provided to sense the position of the workpiece placed on the accommodating member, so that when the offset is sensed, the adjusting member of the adjusting assembly is controlled by the control system to abut and push the accommodating member to rotate by a certain angle. In this way, the accuracy of the workpiece position can be ensured to avoid the offset of the workpiece and affect the subsequent process operations.

[0015] Optionally, both the accommodating member and the adjusting member are provided with teeth, and the first driving member is used to push the adjusting member to drive the accommodating member to rotate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the accommodating member and the adjusting member are in meshing transmission through the teeth, and the precise adjustment of the workpiece direction can be realized.

[0017] Optionally, the accommodating member is located between the adjusting members, and teeth are provided on both sides of the adjusting member corresponding to the accommodating member.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, teeth are provided on both sides of the adjusting member corresponding to the accommodating member, which can enhance the transmission stability between the accommodating member and the adjusting member, ensure that the workpiece does not shake or offset during the adjustment process, and thus improve the adjustment accuracy.

[0019] Optionally, the adjustment component further includes: a cover plate, covering the adjustment member, and having a card slot at one end, and the accommodating member is exposed from the card slot.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the cover plate not only protects the adjustment member and the accommodating member, preventing dust and sundries from entering and affecting the adjustment accuracy, but also the design of the card slot facilitates the installation and disassembly of the accommodating member.

[0021] Optionally, the adjustment member is provided with an abutting groove near the first driving member, and the first driving member is provided with an abutting member corresponding to the abutting groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the corresponding setting of the abutting groove and the abutting member can ensure that the first driving member can accurately transmit the driving force to the adjustment member, thereby realizing the efficient and precise adjustment of the direction of the workpiece.

[0023] Optionally, the adjustment component further includes: a second driving member, arranged at one end of the second supporting member away from the accommodating member, and one end of the second driving member penetrates through the second supporting member and is connected to the accommodating member.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection of the second driving member to the accommodating member can flexibly adjust the height of the accommodating member to be applicable to workpieces of different heights, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the process.

[0025] Optionally, the second driving component includes a transverse driving member and a vertical driving member. The transverse driving member moves in the horizontal direction relative to the support plate. One side end of the vertical driving member is connected to the transverse driving member, and the other side end is connected to the clamping member, and the vertical driving member moves in the vertical direction relative to the transverse driving member.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of the transverse driving member and the vertical driving member enables the clamping member to move precisely in a two-dimensional plane, so that the adjusted workpiece can be accurately clamped to the subsequent station.

[0027] Optionally, the clamping member is provided with clamping claws for clamping the workpiece.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, clamping claws are provided on the clamping member, and the clamping claws can firmly clamp the workpiece to prevent it from falling off or being damaged during the movement. At the same time, the design of the clamping claws also takes into account workpieces of different shapes and sizes, enabling it to meet the requirements of various types of workpieces.

[0029] Optionally, the output ports are provided in two, corresponding to the material feeding grooves one by one.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the output ports are set to two, that is, the screening member has double output ports, so as to improve the output efficiency of the screening member and enable the material parts to enter the material feeding assembly for subsequent processing more quickly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0041] The terms used in the following embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the specification and appended claims of the present application, the singular forms "a", "an", "the above", "the", and "this" are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used in the present application refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the listed items.

[0042] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a novel alignment and direction selection mechanism disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, includes a support plate 10, a screening member 20, a material feeding assembly 30, a position adjustment assembly 40, and a moving mechanism 50.

[0045] Among them, the screening member 20 is arranged on the support plate 10 and is used to output the workpieces in sequence. The material feeding assembly 30 includes a first support member 31 and a material feeding member 32. The material feeding member 32 is docked to the output port 21 of the screening member 20 and is used to convey the workpieces. The position adjustment assembly 40 includes a second support member 41, a receiving member 42, an adjustment member 43, and a first driving member 44, and is used to adjust the direction of the workpieces. The moving mechanism 50 includes a third support member 51, a second driving assembly 52, and a clamping member 53, and is used to clamp the adjusted workpieces to the subsequent workstations. It should be noted here that the structure of the screening member 20 is the existing related technology and is not limited in this embodiment as long as the same technical effects can be achieved.

[0046] Specifically, the output ports 21 are set to two, corresponding one by one to the material feeding grooves 321 (see Figure 2 ), that is, the screening member 20 has two output ports 21, so as to improve the output efficiency of the screening member 20 and enable the workpieces to enter the material feeding assembly 30 for subsequent processing faster.

[0047] The first support member 31 is arranged on the support plate 10 and is used to support the material feeding member 32; the material feeding member 32 is arranged on the end face of the first support member 31 away from the support plate 10, and the material feeding member 32 is docked to the output port 21 of the screening member 20 for facilitating the conveyance of the workpieces.

[0048] Here, it is worth mentioning that one end of the material feeding chute 321 away from the screening member 20 is arc-shaped. During the output process of the material part, the material part turns along with the change of the arc shape of the material feeding chute 321 to achieve the adjustment of the overall directionality, such as rotating 180 degrees as a whole. It should be noted here that the rotation angle is related to the radian of the arc-shaped setting.

[0049] Among them, as the screening member 20 outputs the material parts in sequence, the material parts are conveyed from the material feeding chute 321 to the target position, that is, the position where the second driving component 52 in the moving mechanism 50 drives the clamping member 53 to clamp the material part. In this embodiment, it is the other end of the material feeding part 32 away from the screening member 20.

[0050] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , one end of the second support member 41 abuts against the other end of the material feeding part 32 away from the screening member 20 and is arranged parallel to the material feeding part 32. Here, there is no limitation on how the second support member 41 is fixed. For example, it can be connected and fixed by the equipment of another process. The accommodating member 42 is arranged on the second support member 41 and is used to accommodate the material part clamped and moved by the clamping member 53. A corresponding accommodating groove for accommodating the material part is arranged on the accommodating member 42.

[0051] The adjusting member 43 is located on the second support member 41 and is used to abut against and push the accommodating member 42 to rotate so as to adjust the direction of the material part. The first driving member 44 is a telescopic cylinder and is arranged at one end of the second support member 41 away from the accommodating member 42. The telescopic end is used to abut against and drive (that is, push) the adjusting member 43 to drive the adjusting member 43 to push the accommodating member 42 to rotate.

[0052] Among them, tooth teeth 431 are arranged on both the accommodating member 42 and the adjusting member 43. Driven by the first driving member 44, the accommodating member 42 and the adjusting member 43 are in meshing transmission through the tooth teeth 431 to achieve precise adjustment of the direction of the material part. An abutting groove 432 is arranged on the adjusting member 43 close to the first driving member 44, and the first driving member 44 is provided with an abutting member 441 corresponding to the abutting groove 432. When the first driving member 44 drives the adjusting member 43, the abutting member 441 abuts in the abutting groove 432, so as to ensure that the first driving member 44 can accurately transmit the driving force to the adjusting member 43, thereby realizing the efficient and precise adjustment of the direction of the material part.

[0053] Furthermore, the accommodating member 42 is located between the adjusting members 43, and tooth teeth 431 are arranged on both sides of the adjusting member 43 corresponding to the accommodating member 42, so as to enhance the transmission stability between the accommodating member 42 and the adjusting member 43, ensure that the material part will not shake or shift during the adjustment process, and thus improve the adjustment accuracy.

[0054] See Figure 3, The new alignment direction selection mechanism further includes a sensing member 60, which is arranged at one end of the material feeding member 32 away from the screening member 20 and is used to sense the position of the workpiece on the accommodating member 42.

[0055] Among them, when the sensing member 60 senses an offset, it will send a sensing signal to the control system. The system controls the adjusting member 43 of the adjusting assembly 40 to abut and push the accommodating member 42 based on the sensing signal, so as to rotate the accommodating member 42 by a certain angle. In this way, the accuracy of the workpiece position can be ensured to avoid workpiece offset and affect subsequent process operations. Here, the type of the sensing member 60 is not limited, as long as the same technical effect can be achieved.

[0056] See Figure 3 , The adjusting assembly 40 further includes: a cover plate 45, which is covered on the adjusting member 43, and a clamping groove 451 is arranged at one end of the cover plate 45 for facilitating the exposure of the accommodating member 42 from the clamping groove 451. In this way, the design of the cover plate 45 not only protects the adjusting member 43 and the accommodating member 42, preventing dust and sundries from entering and affecting the adjustment accuracy, but also the design of the clamping groove 451 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the accommodating member 42.

[0057] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , The adjusting assembly 40 further includes: a second driving member 46, which is arranged at one end of the second supporting member 41 away from the accommodating member 42, and one end of the second driving member 46 penetrates through the second supporting member 41 and is connected to the accommodating member 42.

[0058] Among them, the second driving member 46 is a telescopic cylinder, and its telescopic end is connected to the accommodating member 42 to flexibly adjust the height of the accommodating member 42 on the second supporting member 41 through telescoping, so as to be applicable to workpieces of different heights, and further ensure the normal operation of the process.

[0059] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 , The third supporting member 51 is arranged on the supporting plate 10, and the second driving assembly 52 is arranged on the end face of the third supporting member 51 away from the supporting plate 10. The clamping member 53 is understood as a thumb cylinder, which is arranged on the second driving assembly 52 and is located at the upper end of one end of the material feeding member 32 away from the screening member 20. A clamping claw 531 for clamping the workpiece is arranged on the clamping member 53 to firmly clamp the workpiece into the accommodating member 42 through the clamping claw 531. The setting of the clamping claw 531 is used to better prevent the workpiece from falling off or being damaged during the movement. At the same time, the design of the clamping claw 531 also takes into account workpieces of different shapes and sizes, enabling it to meet the requirements of various types of workpieces.

[0060] Among them, the second driving component 52 includes a lateral driving member 521 and a vertical driving member 522. The lateral driving member 521 moves in the horizontal direction relative to the support plate 10. One end of the vertical driving member 522 is connected to the lateral driving member 521, and the other end is connected to the clamping member 53. Moreover, the vertical driving member 522 moves in the vertical direction relative to the lateral driving member 521. In this way, the clamping member 53 can be accurately moved within a two-dimensional plane, so that the adjusted workpiece can be accurately clamped to the subsequent working station. It should be noted here that the lateral driving member 521 and the vertical driving member 522 drive the relative sliding of relevant components through cylinders. In this embodiment, the specific structure is not limited as long as the same functional effect can be achieved.

[0061] In summary, for a novel alignment direction selection mechanism disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, the workpieces are sequentially output to the material feeding member 32. Based on the arc-shaped setting at one end of the material feeding member 32, during the output process, the workpieces turn to adjust the direction of the workpieces. When the material feeding member 32 conveys the workpieces to the target position, the second driving component 52 in the moving mechanism 50 drives the clamping member 53 to clamp the workpieces to the adjustment component 40. At the same time, the sensing member 60 senses the position and direction of the workpieces. When the position and direction of the workpieces do not meet the preset position and direction, the system controls the adjustment member 43 in the adjustment component 40 to drive the accommodating member 42 to rotate by a certain angle under the push of the first driving member 44, so as to adjust the direction of the workpieces again for the operation of subsequent processes. In this way, during the selection process, the automatic processing of the workpieces can be realized, greatly improving the alignment accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the present application can take into account both accuracy and efficiency, meeting the high-efficiency and precision requirements of modern production lines.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
